Building Radio Frequency Solutions for the Global Environment (BRIDGE)

BRIDGE is a three year RFID application research and development project funded by the European Commission. The project consists of 31 global organizations including Sony, Nestle, Carrefour, BT and EPCglobal that collaborate on a series of business oriented clusters, technical developments and horizontal activities.

The SToP project aims at developing ambient intelligence-based and network-oriented systems for the efficient and secure authentication of products. It thereby helps to reduce the problems imposed by counterfeiting and product privacy.
